Just follow these instructions and you'll be well on your way to an awesome event on Remo ✨

1. Register for a Remo account or log in to your Remo account here

2. Click the 'Create Event' button in the upper left-hand corner

If this is your first event created, you'll be automatically directed to create your event, so you can skip this step

3. This is your Event Settings (where you can set up and customize your event). First up are Basic Settings - enter the following details for your event:

Event Status: Indicate whether this is a public or private event (check out this article for the difference between public and private events) Event title: Enter a name for your event Start and End Time: Select a start and end time for your event (this is in your current timezone)* Event Image: Pick an image for your event landing page (you can add a GIF here as well for some movement!)

You can select from our default "Remo Floor Plans" -or-create your own "Custom Floor Plan" (learn more about custom floor plans here) Expected Attendance: Enter the number of expected attendees you plan to have (this also controls how many floors your event space will have)**

*Please remember, your maximum event length is determined by your Remo plan. If you require more time at your event, please get in touch with our Sales Team!

**The Expected Attendance number cannot be changed once the event starts, so please remember to add some buffer. Your maximum expected attendance is also determined by your Remo plan. If you require more attendees, please get in touch with our Sales Team!

The number of floors in your event is controlled by both your inputted expected attendance and the floor plan you've selected.

4. Next, click on the "Invitations" tab to invite guests and speakers to your event:
